Alabama Pilgrimage Reflections by Lindsey: Who Can Understand It?
This episode is part of my Alabama Pilgrimage series, where I interview friends who traveled with me through the important sites of the Civil Rights Movement. Each episode, one pilgrim shares their memories and reflections from the trip, starting with myself. We hope you will enjoy listening to each of these stories.
Today’s pilgrim is me, Lindsey Dunn! My podcast partner, Steve Barnes, also known as Introvoid, was gracious enough to agree to interview me so that I wouldn’t have to talk to myself. I’m a librarian and film critic who grew up in Lafayette, Indiana. I moved to North Carolina in 1998 and specifically to Durham in 2016. I heard about the pilgrimage at my church and knew immediately that I needed to go. If you would like to see the pictures I took that go with some of my memories, please visit my website at 1ofmystories.com and search for Alabama.

A Conversation with Sam and Noah of Speak. Documentary [Full Frame Film Festival]
I got a chance to interview Sam and Noah, two subjects from the documentary Speak. The film documents the year-long journey of five highs school students as they prepare for the NSDA Nationals in Original Oratory competition, or OO, as they call it. We talk about their speeches, what it was like to have cameras on them, and where their life has taken them next.
I never competed in speech or debate team, my public speaking at school was done through drama club and school theater, but it was an absolute joy to speak to these enthusiastic young people who were able to channel their thoughts into a well-researched persuasive speech.
Speak. is directed by Guy Mossman and Jennifer Tiexiera and is currently making a film festival circuit.
SAM is currently a senior in high school from Minnesota (was a junior when he was featured in the documentary. His speech was about the weaponization of nostalgia. He enjoys musical theater, pickleball, reading in his hammock, and enjoys Game of Thrones. He would love to be in another movie one day, and if he was in another documentary, he would love the topic to be musical theater.
NOAH is a college freshman from Texas (was a senior in college at the time of the documentary). His current favorite film is the LEGO Batman movie. He’s working on his ping pong skills and wants to work in foreign relations. His speech was about reframing the way we think about and talk about suicide. If he was to work with film again, he would enjoy trying his hand at the work behind the scenes.
